A recent Earthsight report highlights concerns about Coach’s leather supply chain, linking it to illegal cattle ranching in Brazil’s Amazon, a major cause of deforestation. The nonprofit urges Tapestry, Coach’s parent company, to ensure its leather is free from deforestation-related sources. While Tapestry sources less than 10% of its leather from Brazil, it acknowledges the challenges in tracking materials. The report also mentions other luxury brands with similar supply chain issues and emphasizes the need for better traceability and responsible sourcing practices in the industry.
